Before tramp stamps, barbwire armbands, and tribal whatevers, tattoos were actually a subculture--a relatively low-profile underground phenomenon that only gained steam several decades ago. One guy in particular helped advance the art of the tattoo (both literally and figuratively) onto a higher plane. Sailor Jerry, a salt of the earth…
They say this bag is for "discerning randonneurs". We know what you're thinking: "What the F is a randonneur?" We have no idea either. Sounds pretty cool, like maybe a highly-specialized French assassin or something. Either way, Engineered Garments certainly have a winner in this bag. Made from handsome canvas,…
You really only need to look at the cover of this book to know it's worth getting. Just look at it. That's Dennis Hopper, on a motorcycle, with a mustache that deserves its own movie deal and a pad in the Hollywood Hills. The book chronicles Hopper's years in the…
Before mustaches were corrupted by god damned hipsters, they were worn proudly by general badasses, pornstars (male), and chefs. The guys behind the Mas Guapo spice blend have taken back the chef-stache and created a mix of organic herbs and spices that will make a variety of dishes go from…
For some reason, we thought cocktail recipes were sort of an immutable constant through time. If you were to go back to the 1850's, you'd find people ordering their vodka sodas and gin and tonics. The Roman's partied with rum and cokes after sacking the eastern kingdoms, Jesus relaxed with…
Mr. Bruce Spingsteen is known, amongst other things, for his evocative lyrics. Well, some graphic designer--who must've listened to an absolute fuckload of Bruce's songs--has mapped out (literally) the places and names that his lyrics are famous for. Pick up the from all The Boss's greatest tunes, from Greetings from Asbury…
Ah, razor blades. In recent years razors have gone a bit off the deep end with the concept. Companies will introduce the Mach Thunderblade 9000: Thor Edition, with fourteen blades, a laser sight, proximity sirens, and 450 anytime minutes and unlimited nights and weekends. And while that's all dandy, replacing…
It's fairly obvious that the Urn Ashtray is a visual metaphor. Either a macabre reminder that cigarettes will kill you, or a darkly humorous one-finger salute to those who say you shouldn't smoke 'em. Either way, it's clever, amusing, and if not an ample ashtray, at least a great storage…
Water and camera electronics do not go well together. Much like our writing staff and Cuervo; the two simply don't mix, and when they do, it gets destructive. The ACT9k HD camera however loves the stuff. Waterproof to 20 meters, shock proof to 1.2 meters, and able to shoot in…
Well, "hook" isn't really the right word, as there's nothing hookish about the champagne cork coat hook. We all know hooks are for pirates, butchers, and amput... nevermind. Bad taste. Truth is though, if you're gonna lay your hat or jacket up on a hook of some sort, why be…
Unless you plan on staying in one place for the rest of your life, you're likely going to need a good suitcase. And unless you want to use your grandpa's old suitcase--the one adorned with tweed and smelling like an ashtray--you'll probably want to get one of your own. Samsonite's…
Sure, jewelry and hot rods don't exactly go hand in hand in the minds of many. They're sort of antithetical actually, and putting them together is a bit like setting up a lunch date between Zac Efron and Sylvester Stallone: it'd just be... weird. Take a gander at Etsy merchant hioctanejewelry and…
We're not sure what part of this jacket implies climbing hills (or, to be honest, how impressive "hill-climbing" sounds), but we love it anyways. Waxed cotton repels any weather, a soft wool lining provides warmth, pockets hold your outdoors accoutrement, and the waist, back, and cuffs are all adjustable for maximum…
You ever go down the sauce aisle at the grocers and find hundreds of hot sauce choices? Each one touts something special, and many of them claiming the ultimate spiciness with labels like "Jimmy's Fire Sauce! (Dispense Only Under Chemical Hood)" or "Bob's Fire Goo, Made from Dragon Farts" or…
Let us guess. You have two pillows. They're covered with pillowcases that, well, let's just say they started white. These pillowcases are washed intermittently at best, and when you do take them off, you see that your pillow has in fact recorded all your drool spots with great clarity. This…
